Sunny Somewhere Seattle helps local businesses get discovered online, and this role is built for performance with an earning structure that can grow long-term.

What you’ll earn

• 30% commission on every account you close
• 20% recurring commission every month the client stays with Sunny Somewhere

• Uncapped commission

Pay range: $45,000.00 - $150,000.00 per year. This is not a traditional base salary position.

What Sunny Somewhere does

Sunny Somewhere Seattle has been in business for two years, helping local businesses improve their visibility online. Services include AI search optimization and AEO, SEO, Google Ads, Google Business Profile optimization, website optimization, schema and structured data, and local search strategy.

The goal is to help businesses make it easier for Google, ChatGPT, and other search platforms to understand who they are, what they offer, and when they should be recommended.

Build a book of recurring business

This is focused on outcomes that continue. Instead of a one-time sale, you continue earning recurring commission while clients remain with Sunny Somewhere. Clients typically stay for around two years, so one good sale can provide monthly earnings over time. As your client base grows, so does your recurring monthly commission.

Requirements

No need to be an AI expert

You’ll receive training on how AI search is changing local marketing, how to explain AEO and AI visibility to business owners, how to identify businesses that need the services, how to start and run the sales conversation, how to handle objections, and how to close while building a client base.

You’ll also get access to scripts, presentations, real client examples, the sales process, and direct coaching from the founder. The company isn’t handing you a product and expecting you to figure it out. You’ll be taught the same process already used to sell the service.
